People keep saying this! There was nothing confusing about any of the twists in the other 3, they were gone through, shown and explained. Which I thought was the point.

I had every intention of picking this up but I hate confused twist endings...something the "SAW" films have expertly avoided (even if the twist in #3 relied too much on luck)...which can kill a film stone dead.

I liked the 3rd movie alot more than I did after watching #4 (very rare that the follow up to a film made me like it better than I did the first time) for me there was something missing with the third film... But the 4th filled in gaps that could have still been there..

Well the highres artwork for the dvd proves it. A 2 disc director's cut of Saw IV will be in stores october 2008. Just be patient people. Just like I did. I love this franchise but I waited and only bought the Saw trilogy 6 disc. And now, I'll wait till october to buy this movie.

Why must dvdactive members feel the need to bash other members? If someone likes the movie so be it. I'm amazed at the amount of hate towards this series and Hostel...when most everyone here praised the film Feast (Which I thought was horrible). Eitherway I probably won't pick this up as there was nothing wrong with it but it just fealt lacking and yes I understood the ending!

I like the Saw films. I bought #1 on a whim one day and dug it. Bought the unrated cut and loved the extras. Went with my bro for #2 opening night and that one was awesome. Just viewed #3 and dug that too. IV should be cool...I hope.

However, love or hate the films, they are visually stunning. The people involved really know how to create atmosphere. The editing is cool and the overall direction is slick. Some will write it off as MTV-style, but I don't agree with that.

Lastly, someone above made a note about the Hostel franchise. I bought both recently, and I wasn't sure what to expect. The first one plays out like a totally different film until about 30-40 mins in. After that it gets interesting. I gave it a solid 8. As for Part 2, that one was fantastic. Holy c**p...that is all I am going to say. And yes the gore is cool, but I am talking story wise...I dug it. Feel free to bash away.

i am so sick of these movies. 1 was decent, if only for cary elweys. give me a good story, or buckets of gore. dont try both. these movies are the "i know what you did last summer"s of today. it feels like what would manifest if m night shyamalan remade scream. thats double bad. but hey, thats just me, apparently alot of people like this franchise.

Exactly! I didn't bother with the fourth in theaters though because after the third ended everything so nicely I thought this seemed like a lame cash-in sequel.

I personally didn't like the first. I saw it opening weekend and it was so cheesy and laughable. It is really overrated. So I skipped the second in theaters because after the lame first one I didn't care to see this one that much. But it ended up being a pleasant surprise when I rented it on DVD. I didn't love it, but it was very solid. So I made a trip to the theater to see the third, and wow, now that one was actually great. By far the best of the series. I can't believe there are actually a lot of people that liked the other two and didn't like it. It was much smarter than the previous installments.

Anyway, my expectations for the fourth are very low. It doesn't look or sound very good and many people have said it's really hard to follow. Still, I'll rent it on DVD.

I thought the first saw was ok. But now they've over done it. One saw film was enough. Or at least 2. I just hate how every year when they release it they also come out with the one disc. Then next year they release a 2-disc edition. They are trying way too hard. Although seeing 3 mre films wouldn't kill me.

So far it has grossed $62,229,842 in the U.S. and another $37,000,000 internationally. That's a total of $99,229,842. Not bad for a movie that cost $10,000,000 to make. Even if you consider the cost of prints and advertising, this is movie is a hit no matter how you slice it.

Not seen the last two, nor really interested. There is only so many inventively lethal contraptions & ridiculous twists I can stand. I can see this going down the road of the American Pie franchise... Saw Presents: Terror Clown Camp. Or some s**t.

This was my least favorite of the series, but I still liked it. I just think I've lost interest in the whole Saw series ever since the third film. I'll still buy this, and still see Saw V and whatever future films come out but, it's just not as good anymore.

Got that right. 'Unrated Director's Cut' eh? Not buying it this time. I was suckered into that trick for Saw III, figuring that I could buy the first release and there wouldn't be a re-release (because this time it was Unrated right off the bat). They burned me. Not going to fall for it again. I'll hold off on this one. But I'll give it a rent to check it out.

I think I liked IV better than III. Both IV IMO isn't as good as I or II. Still, regardless of how fast they pump these out, I find it to be a rare horror series that I do actually enjoy. Even with all the 'MTV directing', of which I am not a fan.

A confusing ending!?? Surely the endings are what give the "Saw" film's their special place. (which is why the based purely on luck and impossible to plan timing twist in #3 let it down...though it still made sense).

I'm a Saw junkie and will definitely buy this. It wasn't the best of the series and had one of the most confusing endings in the series, but overall it was entertaining. I'm still amazed they managed to use a dead character for 115 minutes!
